Abstract |
As it is known boar semen, is more sensitive to the frozen-thawed
process. The aim of this study was to improve the boar semen viability
after the frozen – thawed process, this through the trehalose
expositiotion in the cytoplasm of the boar sperm, by the formation of
pores by the streptolysin–O (SLO) toxin. First, the cells were exposed
to different concentrations of SLO (0.2 U/ml, 0.6 U/ml, 1U/ml and 5U
/ml) to determinate the SLO concentration, that allows to maintain the
sperm viability. The cells treated with 0.6 U/ml concentration of SLO
showed the best membrane integrity percent (57.44% ± 2.26). Besides, the
percentage of living sperm with intact acrosome, was higher in the cells
treated with 0.6 U/ml SLO (63.72 % ± 1.75); therefore this SLO
concentration was selected to iexpose to the trehalose the spermatic
samples, wich would be cryopreserved. After the thawing, the treatment
with 100 mM trehalose showed 40.61±3.08% the sperm with intact acrosome,
while the control samples 13.61±3.08% (P˂0.05). However, there were not
differences (P˃0.05) between 100 mM trehalose treatment (7.83±0.76) and
the control (9.89±0.76). In
spite of the last result, the presences of trehalose on of the
cryopreserved boar sperm, allowed to conserve a higer percentage of
alive sperm. The incubation with SLO and trehalose (100 mM) of the boar
sperm, increased the acrosome integrity after to the frozen-thawed
process and maintained the viability. But is necessary more studies for
determines, the effects over fertility.
